    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    A day we expected to come but now Riot Games have formally announced that their Vanguard kernel-level anti-cheat is coming to League of Legends, and so it will make it unplayable on Linux.

    This news was confirmed in their recent developer video below at about 12:43, mentioning it will happen in either late February or early March:

    Speaking on Reddit, one of their team mentioned "We’ll get some more info about Linux for you all soon, it’s not something i know the answer to off the top of my head and I want to make sure I talk with the team and get you the right info.

    ", and in a previous comment they mentioned Vanguard won’t be used in the macOS version.

    However, a different Riot staff member seemed to make it clear Linux support won’t be happening in reply to a user asking about playing it in Wine: "No unfortunately not.

    From a security point of view supporting WINE would be like having a bank vault at the top of Nakatomi Tower then installing a doggy door in it.
